[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Hmmm, well technically Samsung havent released any software updates outside Korea, everything we've seen has come through unofficial means.

And having tried fruitlessly to discuss issues with Samsung, I agree they are crap. Infact they are utterly useless in their support model, unable to discuss anything beyond standard template replies that are bordering on insulting.

Of all the thousands of people suffering lag or gps issues, and they respond with instructions on how to run google maps. If it wasnt actually happening right in front of me, it would be comical. I am truely dismayed by my experiences with them.

My only hope is that like some other companies, at its heart it has good engineers trying to do the right thing, but sadly all you see is the customer facing idiot who couldnt care less about his own company image or customers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Well, the first galaxy wasn't even supported in Korea, that's a difference already.

What i agree with you that is total crap is their U.K support (where we all tried to get replies, since U.S support for the model is not yet established), and yeah, the replies we all get are absurdly useless.

We are lucky that korean firmwares are compatible with about every galaxy S model out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stickfinger:
As for your task killer Mirceal, I've just installed Task Manager (free) and it seems to do the job. You choose which processes to kill from a list then define a time and it kills them off for you when you turn the screen off

I did have task zone installed but that was more fiddly and you had to keep going back to kill them off
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leoni1980:
Be careful with task killers as they can kill your battery more than your lag. Android doesn't need task killers. I've installed the latest firmware with odin and have no issues with lag whatsoever, nor have i had any need to install a task killer.

My main issues are with Samsung's pathetic lack of foresight with their removal of any kind of trackpad and subsequent halfhearted means of compensating for it with a decent software based text selection system.

Im also rather pissed that my device is getting scuffs already just from being put in my pocket for the past ten days.

Aside from that it's great hardware and if it were made by HTC id probably be more optimistic about its future because my history with Samsung devices does NOT leave me with a positive outlook.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Hoozah, SHW-m110s owner here, but honestly, I expected Samsung to turn around their software support mostly because I thought they took a half-hearted approach to smartphones in the past. I thought those updates were legit releases.

They are supposedly releasing FroYo to Korea in a month or less, so the xda-community will have that to help the international users. Hey, it's better than having a device without FroYo, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
Mircea,

I have the same kind of problem than you for the exchange mail.

I have been able to set K-9 in order to retrieve my POP account and my exchange account ( webdav exchange)

Yet, I can't be sure to have my mail all the time. I got some error half of the time.

Connection error mainly

I have tested the stock mail app, the HTC work mail app, Touchdown and K-9. For the moment I didn;t manage to spent a day without a problem of connection ( error code 500 or error status 409 for K-9) so I have K-9 and HTC mail app running together for backup :D

With K-9 , the main advantage is that you will be able to sync automatically any subfolder that you want and not only the inbox ( if you choose the correct version of K-9 as the most recent are bugged)

Now , I will just add this for the angry people ... I never had any problem with the iphone to sync all my POP3 or my exchange account ( inbox or subfolder )... and even touchdown is not as good as the iphone when it comes to complicated HTML mail !!

For information, my colleague who has a Desire has no issue with exchange on the stock app but he is using Touchdown for advanced functionnalities
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayarny:
Well i dont normally use exchange email but for that K9 is superb!

If this is your first android download task killer...Cuz unlike Icrap..it can do serious multi tasking lol..ANyway and i never found ma fone lagging or anythin..Its the best screen ive ever seen..And the sound reproduction is OMG like! And for me its blazing fast! I had desire and i loved it...but i love it more :D STop dissing without doing a research or i feel with out owning the fone!

Peace
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
It can do serious multi tasking ....

Yeah regarding this ... there are two solutions :

* either the multitasking is what I want ( music in background) so I don't want to kill it with a task killer

* or the app is not used and it should be slow down the phone.

So if the galaxy was a good android phone in term of memory management I should not have to use the task killer app

It seems that you want to transform the Galaxy S into a stupid iphone which can be "blazing" fast when it opens one app at the same time. That's not why I have bought an android phone ...

For the moment I am still looking for a video which shows me that the Samsung Galaxy is a good phone when using real multi tasking. Because honestly putting the memory settings to aggresive and opening plenty of app is really useless.

On my side ... the next step is to install JM2 after I did the backup of my app.

Hopefully it will work without any need to other trick

EDIT : i had a doubt so I tested K-9 and it is clearly retarded compared to the iphone mail app. I forwarded a mail in HTML with a lovely array and it sent a crappy mail full of xml node totally unreadable. I guess that's because it's using SMTP to send mails ?

But at least K-9 was able to display the array properly when it received it ... that's not the case of the HTC mail app which display a list instead :(

Hopefully Froyo is going to handle this properly ???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
WHAT? Big difference?? Apple blamed the COSTUMERS for the crappy faulty antenna in their oh-so-magical iPhone 4. And only took a decision AFTER the massive attack of the media.

Also, in their conference about the problem, they tried to drag everybody around them into the same hole when in fact NO PHONE can reproduce the same amount of dropped calls and reduced bandwith then the iPhone. Very professional right?

Now they got responses from ALL the big companies selling smartphones attacking their lack of etics... Please.. I will not continue...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
yeah ... there is nothing to compare here

Apple reaction is a joke ....

And how long do the customer will have to wait to receive the bumper ? It looks like it will be at least 3 weeks ... i guess it will be more 1 or 2 months

Froyo has not been released officially by HTC ( I think there is only a leak??) so there is no reason to expect from samsung such a quick delivery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
And anyway. Samsung knows that they don't have a good reputation in the "support" business but I can see this device change everything due the effort they are making to spread this phone to all the corners of the world at a fast rate. Also, they ALREADY promissed Froyo later this year. So nothing to worry about here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mirceal:
Speaking about Apple and their products.

Even I still own Galaxy S, I have to recognise: there are Smartphones and iPhone. I realy don't know how many of us, speaking here, used at least 6 months an iPhone. I did. And after I had to give it away I still fill the difference. Probably nobody can believe that iPhone and lagging are totaly different subjects.

Google still has a lot of stuff to work on their OS, Android, in order to reach iOS 4.0. And Samsung, years of eforts! Anyway, my feeling is that Samsung is not investing in Android development! Why they should do it? They have a new OS and a lot of work to do there!

What do you think?

Mircea
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
iphone and lagging are different subjects? Yeah right.. you clearly haven't tried to use iOS4 on iphone 3G / 3GS. It's terrible - 4+ seconds to open the SMS app! Galaxy S on the other hand is well under 1 second...

Also, if you check the threads, samsung/htc are working on porting android 2.2 right now. They could probably give you 2.2 running on your phone right now.. and then 5 minutes later when your phone stops working, you'll just be here crying even louder.

Having coded/ported things before, I can tell you that it is not easy, and tons of very difficult problems come up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gadjet0:
I had the Iphone for 18 months and was very pleased with it, I was going to upgrade to the Iphone 4 when it was released by I was really annoyed at the delay in availability an then the antenna crap.

I decide to stop being an Isheep and try something different, I had played with android phones before and was impressed, I saw a friends SGS and was blown away by the screen. I do a lot of reading of Ebooks so it was perfect.

So far I wouldn't change it for my old 3G, especially with IOS4 (that's the definition of lag!!).

One of the great things I found that once I'd setup my google account everything just worked, email, calendar, picassa etc. no issues what so ever.

There are a few things I think Samsung could have done better with their design: -

Designed to drop into a cradle and charge (all the PDAs etc I've had would do this)

A speaker that fed out of the end so it wasn't covered by the case.

A higher capacity battery to suit the large screen I would be happy with it being a bit thicker and heavier.

A notification LED for missed calls, a big miss!

Better quality GPS receiver 8 channels is very old technology.

The charge connector being at the bottom, a cable from the top when on the phone is awkward.

An LED for the camera (A torch really)

The Power switch on top.

I know it sounds a bit like an Iphone but I do think it is a very ergonomic well thought out design.

Even with all that I still prefer the SGS and Android than my 3G.

I just wish the accessory market was a tenth of what the Iphone has, decent accessories are few and far between even Samsung are behind in the SGS accessory market!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i know people using iphone 3GS and says it's lagging, until later on after they upgraded to new software or did the jail break.

so it's the same boat as SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
sorry guys but i have the iphone 3GS on iso4 and the samsung ... and just tlaking about the messaging app I can tell you that the iphone open immeditaly and the samsung takes between 1 and 5s !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Waza_Be:
Hello all.

By flashing my device many times, I am always fed up to plug it and remove all the application I don't want, or open the zip file, remove the apk and resign the ROM.

What I have in mind is making a little app that show us all the applications in system/app ( easy) and them when clicking on them just like a adb shell rm system/app/myUnwantedApp.apk.

The browser is easy to program, but the command line is not easy. I tried with eStrongs and Astro, but they cannot remove the apk..

Cam someone help me or teach me how to enter a adb command line in my phone?

Thank a lot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j4mm3r:
You can use a terminal emulator application like Better Term etc to run shell commands. There is nothing special about adb.

The command adb shell rm is simply running the shell first and then the "rm" command. Now, depending upon the ROM that you are using, the command adb shell will give you a root shell (or not). In any case, when you use a terminal emulator, simply use the "su" command to gain super user privileges (you have to have "su" and SuperUser.apk installed).

Since you are talking about a custom ROM, I think that root access is implied.

In any case, look at programs like Android Scripting Environment. It allows you to code scripts in an interpreted language like shell script, python etc... In your case simply write a shell script with the desired "rm ...." commands and execute them after gaining superuser permissions and make sure that your /system partition is mounted in rw mode.

HOW TO FLASH DIFFERENT REGION ROM ON T-MOBILE PROTECTED?

advice, please.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
You CANNOT flash ANY stock rom from ANY other region onto your tmous.

If you do, it WILL permanently kill it.

Your only choices are the tmous stock roms, or find a tmous compatible custom rom that includes your region.

Search for a tmous compatible rom HERE
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Stock ROMs from the HTC site or from a different carrier could brick your phone ...

Custom ROM is the best way to go ..

You will find TMO compatible ROMs in the TMO section, but there are quite a few that are TMO compatible that are NOT listed in the TMO section, one of the biggest things is to NEVER never never, and did I say NEVER , flash anything with a x.xx.51.x radio to a TMOUS, also I think there is a 2.05.50 radio that is just as bad.

So if you flash a radio just stay above 2.08.50.xx and you should be ok ...

Hello,

I tried some HTC FRoyo+Sense ROMS, and really love them, but I am a cyanogenMod addict.

I am missing the HTC Sense keyboard. I know that I can find it easily on XDA, but with froyo+Sense, I have seen some cool changes on the keyboard ( to switch easily from une locale to an other, because I am using french and english all the time)

Where can I find an apk to install this new keyboard?

Thank a lot.

There is an Froyo version around ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Waza_Be:
Yes, I have seen, but if I am not totally wrong this a version of the Eclair HTC keyboard compatible with FroYo.

That is not the new keyboard from HTC.

To figure that, maybe you should try one of the leaked ROM Froyo+Sense, you will see some new features on the keyboard, like the button to switch langages easily. That feature is not in the "old" keyboard.apk

I hope you understand what I mean, because it's not easy to explain in english.
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
Did you try to rip it yourself? Download that HTC_IME mod, unzip it... and take a look at what files are actually installed.

Rip those files from one of the 2.04 or 2.06 based Sense ROMS, and push them to your AOSP Froyo rom.. see what happens.
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
Yes i understand this but this HTC_IME is able to do this gestures, too ;-) Or u like to have the look of the new HTC_IME ,too ?

I see i have to upload the Froyo Version here it is :

Install via Astro or anything else (Dont push)

Edit:

An Error appears that HTC IME can only be installed on an HTC Phone ;-)

That's really cool and great idea, but I only want to toggle french/english.

while on the topic of keyboards, is there anyway to revert back to the default froyo keyboard while using one of the froyo+sense roms?

im used to the default one with the "numbers" button on the right - just like iphone. sense keyboard puts it on the left.
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
HTC_IMEmod (installable on non-rooted phones) makes it possible to change languages by using the volume buttons when the keyboard is up.

Other keyboards like smart-keyboard-pro also have a button to change languages on the keyboard itself.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunToYoMouth123:
quick question, and im sorry if it has bin answered but... is a 16 gig class 2 sd card stable enough for a sense ui rom to work on a G1 with no problems??

or what a good sd card for the sense ui roms to work as good as the cupcake or the eclair roms?

thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
For swap, which you absolutely need with Sense, you should use the fastest card you can get, which is currently 6 (although there are some C10 cards floating around, I don't think anyone here has tried them in the Dream).

Honestly on a card like that Sense will not be usable. I have CM6 running with a 64mb swap partition on a class 2 card and I still get the homescreen reloading 50% of the time.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunToYoMouth123:
HM, i see...so class 6 is much more stable workin' in other words.

so even if the sd card has alot more space, its still lags since its class 2?

i have cm 6 workin' on mine aswell, and its 16 gb.

but it some times loads up from time to time...nothin' big... i just haven't tried one of those hero sense UI roms on it since i recently got the card and i wanted to know if it would work as good as the cm6 rom( froyo) rom i got on my g1...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Class for sd card's is how fast you can read/write to the memory card. Class 2= 2MB/S and class 6=6 MB/S. It doesn't matter if the class 2 is 128 GB and the Class 6 is 2 GB, the higher class sd card will always perform better. The write limit to my phone is somewhere around 3.5 MB/S, so a class 4 will satisfy that. A class 10 is pure overkill unless you have an HD 1080P camcorder that needs the extra speed.

----------

Through Fastboot mode, I flashed the .nbh file to downgrade to 1.5. (not the gold card method)

Used flashrec to install Amon_RA's 1.7.0 recovery image.

Rebooted to Recovery, flashed a rom.

Rebooted, after tmobile splash, the android splash shows, but after a minute, the screen just goes black. Screen still on, I can see the backlight...barely. Have to soft reset or pull battery to restart.

Flashed 3 different roms, same thing.

Finally, it hit me! I have been using one of my old SDCARDs, that I used to use on my Dream/G1. The only thing that was coming to mind was that something from the ext partition was causing this.

Wiped everything this time (I never wipe ext on G1), flashed rom, and it booted no problem.

Ive never seen this problem on my G1, but I guess the Sapphire didnt like it.

Thought I would post this, in case someone else runs into something similar.

Only thing still broken is the accelerometer...unless someone knows how to fix that lol. (it was dropped alot)
